Oh Comely Lyrics

Oh Comely by Neutral Milk Hotel

Oh Comely
Oh Comely,
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only
Meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest
But oh, comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory, you're drunk on your automy
It doesnt mean anything at all.
Oh, Comely
All of your friends are all letting you blow
Bristling and ugly, bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
of some pretty, bright and bubbly friend you could need
to say comforting things in your ear, but oh comely,
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me, he's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say,
Hang for your hollow ways, moving your mouth
To pull out all your miracle aim For me.
The father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat, fleshy fingers fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings and
Bend all your notes for me and
Soft silly music is meaningful, magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines,
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me,
Say what you want to say,
Hang for your hollow ways, moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle aim
For me.
Da, da da da da da da....
I know they buried her body with others,
Her sister and mother and five hundred families
And will she remember me fifty years later
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies.
We know who our enemies are.
Know all your enemies.
We know who our enemies are.
Da, da da da da da da.....
Goldaline my dear,
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever,
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here let your skin begin to blend itself with mine,
Da, da da da da da da....
